10 Things Every MCU Fan Needs To Know About Moon Knight

6. He Has Three Costumes

Vengeance of the Moon Knight
Marvel Comics

One of the more interesting things about Moon Knights superheroics, is that he splits his methods across not only three different personas, but three different costumes as well. Each filling a different need for fighting the bad guys.

When a crime needs solving, he dons the blindingly white suit and jacket of "Mr. Knight". A violent but staggeringly intelligent detective who can get to the bottom of any case and then work his way through whoever was behind it.

When more classical super-heroics are needed, he becomes the classic Moon Knight, donning his most famous costume and flying about on his glider to take out the bad guys. This is the version of the character you're all probably most familiar with if you know Moon Knight at all.

And when he's gotta deal with more supernatural threats, he becomes "Spector", a shaman-esque entity covered in ancient Egyptian artifacts that allow him to interact directly with the supernatural world. In particular, it gives him the uncanny and invaluable ability to punch ghosts in their dumb faces.
